dow- IMPROVEMENT IN CHURN-DASHER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all twhom it 'may concern.-

Be it known that'I, PHILIP EDGERTON, of Rutf land, in the county of Rutland and State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful Improvement m Churn-Dashers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others' skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompznylmg drawing forming part of this specification, in w nc 1- Figure 1 is a detail vertical crosssecton of my imxmproved churn-dasher. i

' Figure 2 is a detail section of the same, taken through the line :v x, fig. l.

Stiluilar letters of' reference indicate corresponding par s. y

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved churn-dasher, which shall be so constructed and arranged as to throw the milk into various currents and counter-currents, thereby violently agitating 1t, bringing the butter in a very short time, and developing all the butter that may be in the milk; and

It consists in the construction and combination of v the various parts of the dasher, as hereinafter more fully described. A is the dasher-handle, 'to the lower end of which 1s attached a cross-bar, Bl, having its side edges beveled ofi, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, and having crossbars B2 attached to its ends.

B3 are bars or slats set in inclined positions, as shown in iig. 1, and the ends of which are secured to the bars B2.

l The lower edges of the bars B2 are beveled off, as shown n1 iig. 2, so that, as the dasher is forced downward through the milk, the parts ofthe said milk that are nearest to the sides of 'the churn may be forced inward, so that all the milk may be thoroughly interz'mingled, and, consequently, equally operated upon.

CI C2 C3 is a section of the dasher, similar to the section B B2 B, except that the slats 0 are inclined in exactly the opposite direct-ion from the inclination of the slats B3, as shown in iig. l.

. The section C1 C2 Ois placed upon the dasherhandle A, and is kept from coming in contact with the section B1B2B3 by the pins 0*, attached to the section Cl Ce Ca in such positionsthat their lower ends may rest upon the section Bl B2 B3, as shown in the draw- D D2 D is a section made exactly like the section l D21)a by pins E2, in the same manner-as the said scc-` tions are supported above each other.

y '.lhc hole or slot through the bar Ei is made longer than the breadth of the dasher-handle A that passes through it, and one of its ends is made inclined, as shown in tig. 2, to receive the wedge-key F, by means of which the various loose parts of the dasher are securely held in place, and the withdrawal ot' which allows the upper sections to be readily detached, for convenience in washing the dasher.

By this construction ot the flasher the different inclinations of the slats of the dierent sections throw the milk alternately toward and from 'the center of the churn, thus throwing it into various currents and counter-currents, and bringing the butter in a very short time, the guard-bar E preventing the milk from spattering out through the churn-cover.

This dasher is more particularly designed for use in a square churn with vertical sides.

Having thus described my invention,`

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat# eut Y A churn-dasher, formed of sections IBl B2 B, Cl O2 C, I)l D2 D, held apart by intermediate pins C4 DS- and all retained iirmly in place by a bar, E", fastened above the highestsection, and having pins E2 bearing upon the said section, all as shown and described.

Witnesses: PHILIP EDGERTON.
